VALENTINA

I have many questions, yet I hesitate, seeing Rey's devastated situation. She had stopped crying after those girls left, and I paid for both our gowns. Now we are walking toward the jewelry store.

I glanced at Audrey. She was unusually quiet and looked haggard, which heightened my guilt and remorse.

What the bloody hell happened in this peaceful pack after I left?

After a while, I could no longer deny the tension and made her sit on a bench near a food court, looking at her intently. “After that, you must tell me what is going on in this pack,” I asked sternly, making my words bear the ‘I won’t take no for an answer’ vibe.

“How dare those girls disrespect the Alpha's daughter, and worse, bullied?” A fit of anger spread within me as I recalled the scene. Those fucking useless bitchs.

Audrey lowered her head; her eyes dimmed as she spoke: “Two years ago, after you left, Alpha fell silent. He stopped going out much and somewhat shut himself in. A year passed like that until, a

  • Hidden Heiress: The Lycan King's Disfigured Queen    Chapter 209 The Test of Resolve

    CHAPTER 51…ANDRESThe moment the Origin Seat shuddered beneath our feet, I knew restraint had failed someone long before it failed us.The backlash rolled through the chamber like a living thing— as though a violent correction. Ancient magic recoiling against abuse. The kind of force that did not care who believed themselves powerful, only who belonged.I moved without thinking.I was already in front of Valentina before the tremor finished traveling through the stone, my arm braced across her and Luciano both, my stance wide, grounded, every instinct screaming to shield even though I knew— deeply, bitterly, that whatever came next might not be something I could block.Valentina did not stagger. That alone told me everything.Her breath hitched once, sharply, then steadied. I felt it through her back, through the way her spine aligned instead of bowed.Luciano whimpered, his small fingers tightening in her clothing, silver

  • Hidden Heiress: The Lycan King's Disfigured Queen    Chapter 208 The Error of Concord

    CHAPTER 50…VALENTINAThe Concord believed they were still in control.I felt that certainty the moment I stepped fully into the Origin Seat’s inner circle, with Luciano warm and steady in my arms and Andres positioned just behind my right shoulder.The air here did not bow to crowns or councils. It responded only to balance, and balance had no patience for arrogance.The thirteen Concord delegates stood arranged along the carved perimeter, their robes marked with sigils of authority older than most living dynasties. They watched me the way men watch a tide they believe they have already measured.That belief was their first mistake…“Your presence here is acknowledged,” the central delegate said, his voice smooth, carefully moderated. “But understand this, Your Majesty— this assembly convenes by Concord law, not royal decree.”I did not bristle or answer immediately. I adjusted Luciano slightl

  • Hidden Heiress: The Lycan King's Disfigured Queen    Chapter 207 Revelation at the Origin Seat

    CHAPTER 49…VALENTINAThe Origin Seat rose from the valley like it had been carved from the mountains themselves, untouched by time or ambition…Luciano slept in my arms, his small form heavier than his size suggested, calm as though he already knew the importance of this place.Andres walked beside me, silent but alert, his eyes tracing every angle, every shadow that could conceal intent. The moment we stepped onto the central plaza, the air thickened, not with threat, but with expectation…"Bearer of the Anchor, you have arrived." A voice— soft, restrained, impossibly precise, echoed across the Seat, filling the space without moving the lips of anyone present.I straightened, holding Luciano close, and let my gaze sweep across the chamber.Figures seated in the galleries above and around the central stone dais are observed without moving, their veils hiding faces, but not the intent behind their eyes."You are awar

    CHAPTER 48…VALENTINAThe morning air was crisp, but it carried more than the scent of pine and earth. It carried intention. I could feel it in the subtle way the leaves trembled without wind, how the light fractured through the canopy above in jagged, uneven beams.Something had shifted. Not us— yet. but the world we moved through was listening.Luciano slept lightly against my chest. His silver pulsed faintly beneath the skin of his cheek, like a heartbeat mirrored in light. At first, I thought it was only the palace responding, but no. This was beyond the walls, beyond wards, beyond anything I had known. He had left the palace and carried a tether of influence into the wild.“They feel him,” Andres said quietly from beside me. His hand brushed briefly against my arm as an acknowledgment.“Do you feel it?”I nodded, though my heart skipped at the subtle, almost imperceptible pressure that seemed to rise from t

    CHAPTER 47...VALENTINAThe interruption did not come like an ambush.There was no clash of steel, no sudden cry, no violent rupture in the air that screamed danger. Instead, the world ahead of us grew quiet in a way that felt deliberate, as if the road itself had been asked to pause and consider who was allowed to pass.I felt it first in my chest. A slow, unbending recognition…The car slowed on its own, the engines responding to a tension, saying, they can't go further in the forest.The forest around us, ancient and watchful, shifted in tone. Leaves still. The wind drew back. Even the light filtering through the branches seemed to hesitate, suspended between moments.Luciano stirred in my arms. His small fingers flexed once against my sleeve, with the same attentive stillness he had shown when the Concord first reached for us.His silver did not flare. It spread— quietly, patiently, like roots seeking purchase beneath the soil

    CHAPTER 46…VALENTINAThe palace was quieter than I had ever known it, and yet it thrummed with awareness, as if the stones themselves had been holding their breath for the moment we would move.I could feel it beneath my feet, in the subtle tremor of the foundations that had witnessed centuries of rulers, rebellions, and whispered intrigues. Each echoing hall, each polished corridor, leaned toward us with cautious recognition.Luciano’s warmth pressed into my chest, grounding me, reminding me that this departure was not an abandonment of family but a declaration of it.I adjusted the straps of the small pack we would carry, ensuring that the most crucial items— artifacts tied to palace wards, documents bearing the weight of law, and protective charms I had layered over our child, were easily accessible.Luciano rested in my arms, a little heavier than his small age suggested, but still pliable against me, as if he understood in his own way that this journey was about necessity, and n
